Open Access Book
Marking Open and Affordable Courses: Best Practices and Case Studies is a collaboratively authored open access book that helps institutions navigate the uncharted waters of tagging course material as OER or under a low-cost threshold. It summarizes relevant state legislation, provides tips for working with stakeholders, and analyzes technological and process considerations. The first half of the book provides high-level analysis of the technology, legislation, and cultural change needed to operationalize course markings. The second half features case studies of marking initiatives at a variety of institutions.
